Eric and Cheryl Olsen of Bright City Books have done a splendid job featuring writers’ favourite books on their We Wanted to be Writers website.
They recently sent me a copy of Best of Books by the Bed #1, wherein my top picks for poetry appear alongside the top picks of twenty-four other writers (many of them graduates of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop). It is a lovely volume to have and peruse, since there is no one I trust more than a writer for recommendations of what to read.
